thank you, Jesus

^Captured by Grace and edited by me.

I'm writing this post, not because I have something in particular I want to thank my amazing Jesus for. Unless, you count everything as something particular.
I want to thank Him for a warm bed at night, the one I snuggle into and fall asleep peacefully knowing He is protecting me, for the people I see everyday, the beautiful faces that I don't know how I could live without, for the internet that has opened a huge, wide range of possibilities for my future, for the way the wind blows through the dry leaves in Autumn leaving me with a breathless inside, a free heart, for the way the world pops with color, life and glory in the Spring, for the way He lets me know He will always be with me, for the way He grants prayers, for the rolling waves in the ocean, for all the love I get, for the full, gorgeous, happy feeling I get when I realize how much I have once in a while, for the sunsets I've seen, for the early mornings I've got up and started the day with, for a body that doesn't have a disease or sickness or injury, for books, oh books, for His creativity He's planted in me and in everyone, for Him being my friend when I feel like I have no one, for good tastes, for good textures, for big hugs, for words, for music, for the way I get a shiver that goes down my back while experiencing an awesome moment, for dreams, for sparkling lakes or rivers on a sunny dry farm that brings joy when visited, for sunshine and warmth, for being able to whistle a happy tune, for the city lights at night, for laughs and jokes, for holding hands and playing games, for lessons learned, for forgiving hearts, for beautiful hearts, for tears, for feelings that can't be explained, for stars, for dancing and singing under the light that shimmers through fruit tree leaves, for companionship, for swinging on a swing as I call out higher, for memories, for great big oak trees, for the other little things in life that are blessings.
For His undying love.
I admit I have a few tears in my eyes, while I type this up... Call me sappy if you like, but I won't lie, when it comes to realizing how much God has given me, I am a total sap.
Thank you, my awesome God.
And now I am going to read this out loud again, every time I need to thank Him for all of it. Of course I could never actually thank Him for everything, but I can thank Him for some.
Ready for another thank you? Thanks for reading this.
